The research method used is a quantitative survey. The number of participants in this study was 144. The data analysis used was descriptive analysis and simple regression analysis. The results of this study show that using information technology as a learning resource for Gen-Z tertiary students greatly assists the teaching and learning process, increases the desire and new interest in learning, provides motivation and interest in learning, and helps to understand in learning. In addition, this study shows that using information technology as a learning resource has a significant positive relationship with the self-regulated learning of Gen-Z college students.
